In addition, the type of coolant due to the difference in thermal conductivity also affects the cooling effect of the cooling and heat dissipation system of the lithium battery pack.
In general, air and liquid cooling systems can take away the heat generated by a lithium-ion battery by using a medium such as air or water to ensure that the lithium-ion battery's temperature is within a certain range.
Feng studied the battery module liquid cooling system as a honeycomb structure with inlet and outlet ports in the structure, and the cooling pipe and the battery pack are in indirect contact with the surroundings at 360°, which significantly improves the heat exchange effect.
The research of X.H. Hao et al. shows that the coolant temperature within a certain temperature range has a certain influence on the cooling effect of the lithium battery cooling and heat dissipation system, so the inlet coolant temperature T (K) is set as the corresponding design variable.
For the cooling and heat dissipation of lithium battery pack, two cooling channel structures are feasible. In order to simplify the calculation, this paper selects 40 lithium batteries for design. The first kind of cooling and heat dissipation is a serpentine cooling channel.
The simplified single lithium-ion battery model has a length w of 120 mm, a width u of 66 mm, and a thickness v of 18 mm. As shown in the model, the liquid cooling system consists of five single lithium-ion batteries, four heat-conducting plates and two cooling plates.
